We’re all NFC here today on BlitzNation, as we check out the midseason awards from each NFC division. Tomorrow, we’ll take a look at the AFC in-depth, and hand out awards for those respective divisions. But now we turn our attention to the NFC South. Let’s begin! 

So when you saw this video of the Atlanta Falcons and the Washington Redskins getting into it this past Sunday, you figured that a few people could probably be fined. The prime suspects were Falcons’ coach Mike Smith and former Falcon DeAngelo Hall. But, there was also another important shove in there as well, which was performed by Albert Haynesworth. Which is why Haynesworth has officially been fined. 

Welcome football fans to another edition of power rankings here on BlitzNation! After an exciting week of NFL action that was filled with good games between good times, the power rankings have been shook up a little this week. Some teams have separated themselves from the pack, and some have fallen off completely.

So without further ado, here are this week’s rankings: 

In case you missed it yesterday, we showed you the video of Falcons’ coach Mike Smith squaring off with former Falcon DeAngelo Hall in Atlanta’s 31-17 victory over the Redskins on Sunday. And it comes as no shocker that the situation will be reviewed by the league, and I’d say some fines are on the horizon for the two. 

The GM position for the Cleveland Browns has been vacant for about a week now.  It is reported that Randy Lerner has a short list of potential replacements with Ex-Head Coach of the Green Bay Packers/Seattle Seahawks Mike Holmgren topping the list. 

So in case you missed the game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Washington Redskins yesterday, there was a mini-brawl that took place. Ok, so not really a brawl, but a nice little shoving match. Of course, as you see in the video above, it seems as though Falcons’ coach Mike Smith and DeAngelo Hall were getting ready to throw down in a round of fisticuffs. 

It was another action-packed Sunday of NFL football, and while most things went as planned, there were some surprises with a few teams. Here at BlitzNation, we’re introducing a new feature called ”In Case You Missed It” which will give you a two-minute drill like rundown of all the Sunday action.

So without further ado, let’s get right to it! 

Lots of big games taking place on the NFL docket this week, with most of the games being pretty exciting matchups that could go either way. Then there are those games that we think we already know how the game will turn out. Today, we’re going to talk about those games. And for the record, due to the Indianapolis Colts being decimated by injuries, if the Texans (5-3) beat them, it wouldn’t be that surprising. Any other time, even though the Texans are good, we would probably view that as a potential upset. 

The New Orleans Saints’ unbeaten start has come entirely outside the NFC South, but a seventh straight victory could give them a crystal-clear path to a division title.

A Monday night win over visiting Atlanta would also match the best start in franchise history and keep the Saints alone atop the NFC, and the Falcons’ defense will need to improve quickly if it hopes to slow Drew Brees’ high-powered attack.
